Fantasy Writer Robert Jordan dies

It is amazing sometimes that co-Incidence happens.. I was reading a book of his and I have read the first one that came out in the earily 1990 of the Wheel of Time: Eye of the World about Rand al'Thor.. then ONE morning I read where HE died.. Gosh, now that can send goose bumps running.. I have NOT enjoyed this book, Lord of Chaos as it jumps around to much.. I hated that with JORDONS later books as he was probley on medications and that might have been the reason.. Any way, I thought I would share this with everyone as here is an artical on him..

Celebrity Deathbeepers is a FREE to JOIN site that alets you to ppl in the NEWS who die.. GET the scoop before anyone else and FIND out what they did during their life times.. I like that in a SAD kind of way but NO one lives forever..

Don't know his work -- Haven't read much fantasy since the 80's.  My favorites then included Ursula K. Leguin, Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny (of course Douglas Adams -- though perhaps not strictly in that genre).  I'll check him out though.  Deathbeepers, eh?  Have to pass that on to my wife.  She always reads the obits in the paper first.
